Not very rusty, But just as bad!

Friend delivered this to me to get it ready for the road, It has been sat in a barn for over 5 years under an owls nest...... Every rubber component has just about perished.

Nice little project

Cheval Vapeur is what I understood it to be an abbreviation of.

Horse farts?

Steamy Horses... Which they are indeed after a good run...

the 2CV had (slightly) more than 2 horsepower!

2CV meant two fiscal horsepower.
That was a measure for the road tax and was not directly related to engine power.
We had the same system in Belgium where the Citroën CX was 11 horsepower.

This one's been sitting immobile for 30 years to my certain knowledge! Its touring days are over I fear...

Loving the ivy growth around the wheel...

Thing is, it probably still works

That name is just begging for a bit of skilful 'modification'

Spotted in the corner of the car park where we stopped for breakfast yesterday

To add insult to injury it had a bloody awful pink Nissan Figaro for company

I like the Figaro, and if I was taking the photo I would have had a whole Figaro and half a Peugeot.
It looks very nearly a two-tone in the pic metallic finish on the boot and solid pink on the side

Sorry Neil... I will ensure I do it properly next time

I've posted this one before and have been watching it slowly decay for many years now... It's on one of my running routes and this morning I noticed it seems to have taken a quite sudden considerable turn for the worst with both patina and decay now in an advanced state..

A couple of years ago it looked just about recoverable but not now... Beyond any hope...
